Google introduced the all New Chromecast at an event in San Francisco Monday and it's a nice upgrade over the original version. Featuring a bold new design in three colors with a built-in HDMI cable and offering 802.11ac Wifi, as well as the 5GHz channel. Probably the biggest change from a design standpoint is that instead of the Chromecast plugging directly into your HDMI port, instead it hangs as a dongle from the cable. This allows more flexibility in tight spaces. The new Chromecast costs $35 and offers all the features of the original to cast your video to various screens from a gigantic assortment of apps plus the ability to mirror your screen and more.

Also introduced is 'Chromecast Audio', which is basically Chromecast that works with select speakers and lets you play music from your phone, tablet or other device and hear it over your audio system of choice just like regular Chromecast lets you watch video. Chromecast Audio also costs $35 and works with all your favorite music apps such as iHeartRadio, Pandora and Google Play Music with more to come in the future.

According to numerous sources Google will be introducing a new version of the Chromecast on September 29th during its event in San Francisco. This new version should replace the current Chromecast and offer a bunch of new features including one called 'Fast Play' which will make connecting to other devices quicker and simpler. Other additions expected include some new, faster hardware under the hood, improved Wi-Fi and more. The new Chromecast will also look different and be available in several colors. While retaining a dongle shape it appears more circular in nature in the blurry photos leaked.

Also expected to be announced is an all new product called 'Chromecast Audio' which should offer wireless audio for speakers. We're thinking this might be some kind of bluetooth or Wifi device that does for audio what Chromecast does for video. It should offer both wired ability as well as wireless multi-room audio support.

Amazon has been pulling out all the stops as the lead up to the holiday season continues. Today they've got a particularly cool sale going on for all us portablet device nuts who own tablets and smartphones. This sale is all about portable bluetooth speakers which as you know are one of my favorite 'go to' gifts for the portable device lovers in my life. They enable you to pair up any phone or tablet and listen to all your great music or watch a movie with much better sound quality than you would through the device's built-in speakers. They also let you share that music or sound with others which you of course can't really do with headphones. Some of these Bluetooth speakers are weather and even waterproof for the pool, shower or outdoors use. Other are perfect for the desktop. Prices are slashed just for the next few hours up to 70%.

Amazon's deal of the day right now is an awesome accessory for any tablet or phone owner and here's why. Battery life is the one demon we all fight with our devices. No matter how great a tablet or phone is, if we constantly have to stay around an electrical outlet, it limits our enjoyment of our devices. It'd be great if we could all snap our fingers and presto...have 2x or 4x the battery life in our existing phone or tablet but since that's not going to happen anytime soon the next best thing is to have a portable and powerful charger that you can have in your backpack, car or bag that lets you charge your phone or tablet fully when you're away from an outlet.

That's exactly what the Jackery Giant+ Portable Charger Power Pack is and right now it's at unbelievable price...$100 off list for only $29.95. With this portable charger which is light and small...you can literally charge your tablet TWICE or your mobile phone 4X without having to go and recharge the charger. Just think about that. You could take off for a weekend camping trip or day trip and not have to worry about being anywhere near a plug outlet for up to 2 or 3 days. Just have a fully charged Jackery with you and charge your devices from it. You can even charge two devices at once! Now you would think a charger with this much juice would be like $100 or even $70. But for $29.95? This is a steal. It's about the size of a small paperback book and works with both Android and Apple devices...anything with a Micro USB port. At the below link you can grab one for that low $29.95 price in the aluminum orange color (which looks pretty cool) or you can pay $10 more and get it in gold, silver or black. I just grabbed TWO of the orange. It makes a terrific gift for students, friends, relatives or yourself and at this price it's a no-brainer. Hit the link below to get one.

If you've been wanting to get a wireless bluetooth portable speaker system you could use with your tablet or phone but have been dubious about some of the no-name or chinese knockoffs (for good reason) for their dubious reputation or sound quality then this deal might be for you. The JBL Flip Wireless Bluetooth Portable Speaker System gets top ratings from the tech literati such as CNET, Engadget and AndroidPolice with the latter calling it 'the best portablet bluetooth speaker on the market' and even saying it simply 'decimates' the Jambox brand in sound quality. Sporting dual drivers with 10w of power and up to 5 hours of battery life the JBL Flip can be used both in horizontal or vertical position. It also comes with a nifty urethane cover that it slips into when traveling. It connects to your phone or tablet easily via bluetooth and can fill en entire room or pool area with sound. It's a great companion to you portable devices and these manufacturer refurbished units are 'like new' for almost 40% off list price. If some reason you don't like it they take returns 'no questions asked' as well. The JBL Flip makes a great gift for yourself or anyone you care about this holiday season that has a phone or tablet. Hit the link below to grab one.
